I’m 16 years old and I live in a small town in Norway. I reverted to Islam about 4 months ago, alhamdulillah. I reverted in January, and I started with the hijab in February. I live in a Christian and critical city. I have not seen other Muslims here. I feel like I’m the only one here in my city, but I don’t know. When I started to wear the hijab, people looked down on me. I got death threats and my friends turned me back. people were embarrassed of me. I have not been and will not be accepted in this city.

I feel alone and lonely because I do not have any friends now, they turned me back but I still have my family. It’s funny how much people may dislike a person because of a headscarf. I feel beautiful in the hijab, I feel free in the hijab! If a woman is free to show off her body, shouldn’t she also be free to cover it? I’m not oppressed. I love the hijab, I’m not wearing it to please other than my lord Allah swt, and even If it’s hard times, I still smile and I could not be happier. Hijab is beautiful! my hijab will be with me until the day I die! “Verily with every hardship comes ease”- Quran 94:5
